(Mel Tillis - Buck Peddy - Faron Young)
I said, hey, I'm a poor, poor boy
Well, I got no car and my horse went lame
I got no friends that I can name
But step up close and hear me, hon
I'm just a poor boy looking for fun.
Well, I've been around this whole wide world
There's nothing I ain't done
I phoned with lots of pretty gals
I've had a lotta fun.
But they always mentioned diomond rings
And wanna tie the knot
But you can't raise a wife on nothing
And nothing is all I've got.
I said, hey, I'm a poor poor boy
Well, I got no car and my horse went lame
I got no friends that I can name
But step up close and hear me, hon
I'm just a poor boy looking for fun.
--- Instrumental ---
Well, my reputation ain't the best
But my heart is never blue
I got no income tax to pay
No worries, boy like you.
I've got no one to tie me down
Every day's my lucky day
If you wanna be happy just like me
Hear what I have to say.
I said, hey, I'm a poor poor boy
Well, I got no car and my horse went lame
I got no friends that I can name
But step up close and hear me, hon
I'm just a poor boy looking for fun...
Faron Young (February 25, 1932 – December 10, 1996) was an American country music singer and songwriter active from the early 1950s into the mid-1980s. Considered one of the most colorful figures in country music history, Young achieved success with songs like «If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')» and «Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young», establishing him as a honky tonk artist both in sound and lifestyle. However, his vocal versatility was also evident in chart-topping singles such as «Hello Walls» and «It's Four In The Morning». Known as the «Hillbilly Heartthrob» and, after a film role, as the «Singing Sheriff», Young consistently charted for over 30 years. He committed suicide in 1996. In 2016, he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
